Uma Thurman and Juliette Lewis play two small town women who aren't exactly the cleverest girls in America. Uma Thurman still lives with her mother and Juliette Lewis lives a beaten down house with her daughter. Uma Thurman meets a guy who she believes to be "the one" but of course he's just a guy who wants to get laid! The whole film revolves around Uma Thurman's life taking a drastic turn after she suffers from a case of "hysterical blindness" at work. I watched this film on Sky and didn't really expect it to be great but within the first ten minutes I was hooked. It made me laugh but it also made me feel sad and was just such an honest film I could easily relate to it! The only thing I didn't like about it is that it seemed to end too early. Bobby, the bartender, and Juliette Lewis had ALOT of sexual tension between them but nothing ever happened! And I expected Uma Thurman to actually find "the one" but she never does which is dissapointing. But I think this film is great and it's been proven as Uma Thurman won an academy award for her performance in it.
